“Beautiful, modern accomodation, location poor”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 4 January 2012

If you are looking for spotlessly clean, beautiful modern rooms, then this is the place for you. Even the bathrooms have lovely little finishing touches and our room came with flatscreen TV & tea/coffee making facilities and a lovely balconey - very comfortable overall.
There is on site parking, which was very useful (but be careful of the very steep angle you have to drive to get to it!).
The only drawback to this place was the location itself, which was a good 20-30 min walk to the city centre.... so you need a car! Or take nice leisurely walks back to the hotel in the evening.

“Incredible place to stay”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 11 December 2011

I stayed here for work and loved it so much, I'll come back for a holiday. I stayed in a two bedroom apartment, with a decent sized fully functional kitchen, large fridge and freezer, lovely comfy living room, great large kingsized beds. Plenty of room in the bathroom, lovely views from the spacious veranda and room. The pool is a decent lovely size, very clean and has shade for use during the day. The only down side is that you have to pay for the internet, which is not cheap. But this was a minor issue.

Room Tip: ask for a fifth floor room that faces the sea

“Nice Modern Apartment Style Rooms”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 12 September 2011

Great location, we could walk from town after dinner & drinks out. The apartment was modern, clean & quite funky. Only negatives were lack of storage space - but that would only be a problem if you were staying for a long time. Desk staff were lovely, my partner was checking in late (8pm) so I called them during the day & they explained the process & were happy to help him when he arrived.
Noise for some people coming off the round about & road below might be a problem for some people but it is an inner city location, and with the balcony doors closed it just wasn't a problem.

“Terrific place to stay”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 11 August 2011

people found this review helpful

My wife and I wanted a relaxing place to stay, which was going to be close to centre of town and comfortable surroundings. The standard of accommodation was very good and we had a balcony where you could sit out side and look towards the harbour and see all the cruise boats going out and coming back each day. The staff were very friendly and helpful without being over bearing. Cairns is a good base for travelling, and we hired a car and did a lot of getting around. The Sky Rail was a great experience as was the trip back on the train. Port Douglas should not be missed, especially if you like sea food. Buy some prawns off the trawler. Ten days was not long enough!
